God's holy law, transgressed
Author: Beddome Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #814 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 God's holy law, transgressed,
Speaks nothing but despair;
Burdened with guilt, with grief oppressed,
We find no comfort there.
2 Not all our groans and tears,
Nor works which we have done,
Nor vows, nor promises, nor prayers,
Can e'er for sin atone.
3 Relief alone is found
In Jesus' precious blood:
'Tis this that heals the mortal wound,
And reconciles to God.
4 High lifted on the cross,
The spotless victim dies:
This is salvation's only source,
Hence all our hopes arise. Scripture: Psalm 143:3
God's holy law, transgressed
My Savior, how shall I proclaim
Author: J. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #815 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 My Saviour, how shall I proclaim,
How pay the mighty debt I owe?
Let all I have, and all I am,
Ceaseless to all thy glory show.
2 Too much to thee I can not give;
Too much I can not do for thee;
Let all thy love, and all thy grief,
Graven on my heart for ever be.
3 The meek, the still, the lowly mind,
Oh, may I learn from thee, my God!
And love, with softest pity joined,
For those that trample on thy blood!
4 Still let thy tears, thy groans, thy sighs
O'erflow my eyes, and heave my breast;
Till, loose from flesh and earth, I rise,
And ever in thy bosom rest. Scripture: Job 38:7
My Savior, how shall I proclaim
Broad is the road that leads to death
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #818 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Broad is the road that leads to death,
And thousands walk together there;
But wisdom shows a narrow path,
With here and there a traveler.
2 Deny thyself, and take thy cross,
Is the Redeemer's great command;
Nature must count her gold but dross,
If she would gain this heavenly land.
3 The fearful soul that tires and faints,
And walks the way of God no more,
Is but esteemed almost a saint,
And makes his own destruction sure.
4 Lord! let not all my hopes be vain;
Create my heart entirely new,--
Which hypocrites could ne'er attain;
Which false apostates never knew. Scripture: Isaiah 1:16-17
Broad is the road that leads to death
Hasten, sinner! to be wise
Author: T. Scott Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #819 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Hasten, sinner! to be wise;
Stay not for the morrow's sun:
Wisdom, if thou still despise,
Harder is it to be won.
2 Hasten mercy to implore;
Stay not for the morrow's sun,
Lest thy season should be o'er,
Ere this evening's stage be run.
3 Hasten, sinner! to return;
Stay not for the morrow's sun,
Lest thy lamp should cease to burn,
Ere salvation's work is done.
4 Hasten, sinner! to be blest;
Stay not for the morrow's sun,
Lest perdition thee arrest
Ere the morrow is begun. Scripture: Proverbs 27:1
Hasten, sinner! to be wise
Sinner, turn, why will ye die?
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #820 (1873) Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Sinners, turn, why will ye die?
God, your Maker, asks you--Why?
God, who did your being give,
Made you with himself to live;
He the fatal cause demands,
Asks the work of his own hands--
Why, ye thankless creatures, why
Will ye cross his love, and die?
2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die?
God, your Saviour, asks you--Why?
He, who did your souls retrieve,
Died himself, that ye might live.
Will ye let him die in vain?
Crucify your Lord again?
Why, ye ransomed sinners, why
Will ye slight his grace, and die?
3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die?
God, the Spirit, asks you--Why?
He, who all your lives hath strove,
Urged you to embrace his love:
Will ye not his grace receive?
Will ye still refuse to live?
Oh, ye dying sinners! why,
Why will ye for ever die? Scripture: Proverbs 1:23
Sinner, turn, why will ye die?
Awake, awake, each sluggish soul!
Author: Heginbotham Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #821 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Awake, awake, each sluggish soul!
Awake, and view the setting sun!
See how the shades of death advance,
Ere half the task of life is done.
2 Soon will he close our drowsy eyes,
Nor shall we hear these warnings more;
Soon will the mighty Judge approach:
E'en now he stands before the door!
3 O Saviour! let these awful scenes
Be ever present to our view;
Teach us to gird our loins about,
And trim our dying lamps anew.
4 Then, when the king of terror comes,
Our souls shall hail the happy day.
Haste, then, O Saviour! from above,
Nor let thy chariot-wheels delay!
Awake, awake, each sluggish soul!
Hearts of stone, relent, relent!
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #823 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Hearts of stone, relent, relent!
Break, by Jesus' cross subdued;
See his body, mangled, rent,
Covered with a gore of blood;
Sinful soul, what has thou done?
Murdered God's eternal Son!
2 Yes, our sins have done the deed,
Drove the nails that fixed him there;
Crowned with thorns his sacred head,
Pierced him with a soldier's spear;
Made his soul a sacrifice;
For a sinful world he dies.
3 Will you let him die in vain?
Still to death pursue your Lord?
Open tear his wounds again,
Trample on his precious blood?
No! with all my sins I'll part:
Saviour, take my broken heart.
Hearts of stone, relent, relent!
Return, O wanderer, to thy home
Author: Hastings Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #824 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Return, O wanderer, to thy home,
Thy Father calls for thee:
No longer now an exile roam
In guilt and misery.
2 Return, O wanderer, to thy home,
Thy Saviour calls for thee:
The Spirit and the Bride say, Come;
Oh, now for refuge flee!
3 Return, O wanderer, to thy home;
'Tis madness to delay:
There are no pardons in the tomb;
And brief is mercy's day! Scripture: Isaiah 44:22
Return, O wanderer, to thy home
Return, O wanderer, now return
Author: Collyer Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #825 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Return, O wanderer, now return,
And seek thy Father's face!
Those new desires, which in thee burn,
Were kindled by his grace.
2 Return, O wanderer, now return!
He hears thy humble sigh;
He sees thy softened spirit mourn,
When no one else is nigh.
3 Return, O wanderer, now return!
Thy Saviour bids thee live:
Go to his bleeding feet, and learn
How freely he'll forgive.
4 Return, O wanderer, now return,
And wipe the falling tear!
Thy Father calls--no longer mourn:
His love invites thee near. Scripture: Isaiah 44:22
Return, O wanderer, now return
Brother hast thou wandered far
Author: Clark Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #826 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Brother, hast thou wandered far
From thy Father's happy home,
With thyself and God at war?
Turn thee, brother; homeward come.
2 Hast thou wasted all the powers
God for noble uses gave?
Squandered life's most golden hours?
Turn thee, brother; God can save.
3 He can heal thy bitterest wound,
He thy faintest prayer can hear:
Seek him, for he may be found;
Call upon him; he is near. Scripture: Isaiah 44:22
Brother hast thou wandered far
